Utah governor issues statewide mask mandate to stem coronavirus

Yeah because that has worked anywhere on the planet so far.🤦🏽‍♂️At this point if you want to mandate masks fine (it will likely be shot down in the courts), but stop claiming it has anything to do with virus transmission. We know it has never been able to do that and the data shows it has no effect where it is used as a preventative measure.

Now that trump was voted out of office people are finally starting to grow a spine. Way to show some courage.

Can't wait for every Democrat city to go on never ending Lockdowns. I'll be enjoying my freedom in a red county where the police do not enforce this garbage and no businesses owners care. Enjoy people.

Only because he was publically shamed on the national media. We are #8 and the listed us first. We have high numbers because of all the proactive testing. Slc area has had a mask mandate since the beginning. Hes a spineless weiner on his way out and fuck cox too.

Right everyone knows that doctors and nurses wear those masks in surgery cause its soooooo sexy. No practical application at all. Just ask the chosen one and his band of basket dwellers.

Good, eventually it will finally be the whole country. Stupid american fetishized freedom... Wear the fucking masks lol

Yes, call for a mandate of something neither the CDC or WHO consider effective. Unless, of course, Utah's just been sitting on an incomprehensible stockpile of n95 masks, the only ones that work.

We lose over a million people PER YEAR to tuberculosis, which is spread the same way covid is. Why don't we wear masks to prevent the spread of it? Because science and statics prove it isn't effective at preventing the spread. https://www.cdc.gov/globalhealth/newsroom/topics/tb/index.html#:~:text=Globally%2C%20tuberculosis%20(TB)%20is,%25%2C%20respectively%2C%20from%202017.

Good thing you idiots voted for Trump. 🤦‍♂️

Masks do nothing when you touch your face more often, don't wash the mask after every use, and don't practice isolation technique. Fauci himself said masks were worse than not wearing them because people didn't know how to wear them.

Who is Ezekiel Emanuel? This is the man who thinks no one should live beyond age 75. He believes it is morally problematic. He believes 75+ should not have access to vaccines, or even antibiotics. His quote on that is this: “unlike the decays associated with chronic conditions, death from these infections is quick and relatively painless. So, no to antibiotics.” He also said, “What about simple stuff? Flu shots are out. Certainly if there were to be a flu pandemic, a younger person who has yet to live a complete life ought to get the vaccine or any antiviral drugs.” Who is Ezekiel Emanuel? He’s the man Biden picked for his coronavirus task force. Feeling good now?

These mandates would be much easier to handle if we were provided basic info such as how odors and fine particles get through the mask but a virus can’t. How about the size of the virus compared to the size of the material the mask is: is one material better than another ? I would certainly think so. Open sores or cuts - why don’t they have to be covered if it’s an airborn virus ? How does a mask actually stop transmission ? I watch football every Sunday and wonder how players line up 1 yard from each other face to face, engage in physical stress which causes heavy breathing and then pile on top of each other , all while mask less. Then immediately after the game players put surgical mask on to walk around the exact same field they just played on without them, to talk. In high school players and cheerleaders wear no mask as long as they are on the field side of a chain link fense as if the chain link fense is a barrier . Exactly how is this safe ? It seems to me that there are an awful lot of inconsistent actions and messages in this mask thing and honestly I don’t think they know what the heck will stop it or slow it down . I’d do my part out of courtesy if nothing else but either this is the smartest virus ( knows who to go around and recognizes barriers ) or politicians and scientist are just full of crap

I just don't understand just wear a mask it could keep us from having to shut down we dont yell about having to wear shoes or clothes i wear a mask to help keep you safe i wish you'd wear a mask to help keep me safe

Mr. Dummy Dumb that's how to handle things!

Thank you Trump supporters for getting me grounded by the state. Really fighting for freedom over here Source: Utahn

How about no

Nope, go ahead and fine me. This isn't Iran

So now one less republican believes its a hoax. Great

Jesus Christ it’s about time

At least Utah had the good sense to offer Utahns free masks via mail - which White House considered for the nation, then abandoned. (:-(
